How can I pay my first bill after I buy a Blues plan on healthcare.gov?

After you enroll in a Blues plan at healthcare.gov, you have two options: pay now or pay later.

Pay now: To pay now, you'll need your payment transaction ID, which is sometimes called an application ID, from healthcare.gov. You'll also need to know the amount you owe and the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan or Blue Care Network plan you enrolled in.
